Because You Never Know What Someone Will Say

Kids Say the Darndest Things

Children are remarkable. They come up with witty sayings without even trying. Sometimes they say things based on what they know. Other times, it can be to try and make you laugh or just throw your own words back into your face.

Comments can be made in private, public, or just about anywhere. The problem can often be that the vocabulary doesn’t quite keep up with what they are trying to say. Other times, just how they reference things can be inventive but funny as well. Whatever the reason, Kids Say the Darndest Things.

Sister: “I’m going to have five kids. Three girls and two boys.”
Brother: “I’m going to have five boys and a lot of dogs.”
Sister: “No you’re not. Your wife is going to have the babies. You have to drive her to the hospital.”

While watching a TV show, I started to laugh at a scene. My daughter responds: “Mommy, that’s not funny. You be nice.”
